    The Washington Capitals are one of the hottest teams in the league. The Florida Panthers, well, they are certainly a team in the NHL. Tonight they will play each other while you watch.

    Puck drops in Florida, an actual place where they play hockey, at 7:30 PM. Game’s on CSN-DC, thank goodness.

    Team Record Possession PDO Power Play Penalty Kill
    Washington Capitals 19-5-2 52.7% 101.1 25.3% 84.0%
    Florida Panthers 13-11-4 46.9% 101.0 19.4% 79.8%

    Projected Lineup

    Here are your morning lines, courtesy of Mike Vogel.

    Ovechkin – Backstrom – Oshie
    Johansson – Kuznetsov – Williams
    Chimera – Beagle – Wilson
    Laich – Latta – Brown

    Schmidt – Carlson
    Alzner – Niskanen
    Orlov – Chorney

    In honor of the fathers trip.

    Hit me up with more in the comments.

    Storylines

    • Philipp Grubauer will get his first start since November 19’s loss to Dallas.
    • Tom Wilson has been promoted to the third line. Andre Burakovsky is scratched. Chris Brown is playing. According to Trotz (and via Isabelle), that’s because Brown’s dad is traveling with the team.
    • Pat “Whoop-Whoop” Holden adapted Ted Leonsis’ advice for rebuilding teams and how it should apply to the Florida Panthers.
    • Speaking of Ted, he is happy with the numbers. Maybe he’s not looking at 10-game running opponent shot attempts. /nerds

    Caps have stopped bleeding a bit in shot attempts against, but still way above early season rates. Rolling 4 game. pic.twitter.com/PbFteTo2AD

    • Alex Semin has signed with Metalurg Magnitogorsk, though SKA was nibbling as well.
    • We love the Caps new jerseys! Take our money now.
    • It has now been exactly one month since Brooks Orpik last played. Yikes.
